Synopsis

Album Description
Augustus Pablo is a reggae legend with a world-wide cult following. A mysterious, mystic producer and artist, he created two of the fifty greatest reggae albums of all time and as the acknowledged founder of dub music, influenced hip hop, dance music, electronica and more. The Rockers Story is the first box set of Augustus Pablo's work ever produced; for the the first time the complete picture of Pablo's greatness as an artist, instrumentalist, producer and dub-master come together in one dynamic package! The four audio CD's are comprised of a total of 65 tracks, including many of his greatest and most famous works as well as rare tracks previously unavailable or available only on obscure 7" singles. Includes his productions of such notables as Jacob Miller, The Heptones, Hugh Mundell, Dillinger and more! The 20 minute DVD includes previously unseen and unreleased footage of Augustus Pablo performing in concert. Also a never-before-seen video or Pablo with Hugh Mundell in a dynamic impromptu acoustic performance in Jamaica as well as an informative interview segment. The twenty-page booklet presents commentary from the notable writers who knew Pablo best, including Lol Bell-Brown, author of the book Augustus Pablo: Original Rocker as well as many never-berfore-seen photos from the Pablo archives of Pablo in the studio, with other artists and elsewhere!

"A beautifully constructed box set highlighting some the of the finest music created in the 20th century. Augustus Pablo is simply quite simply the finest musician in reggae music; this mesmerizing box set is a dream come true, with rare tracks previously available only on rare LPs---



I love this set and I adore Pablo's music--the only quibble I have is with the DVD which is frankly of a home video quality. Who cares? I don't own a TV anyway...



So quit reading this review anyway and buy this box set."
